Dogs edge Vandy in crucial SEC game
By RANDY WALKER and DAVID
PACE
Spprts Writers
The Georgia’s men’s basketball
team strengthened its bid to win
the regular season SEC
championship by winning a crucial
road game at Vanderbilt
Wednesday night 67-66.
Georgia (16-6, 9-4 in the SEC)
trailed by as much as nine in the
second half, but chipped away at
the Commodore lead with key
three-point buckets down the
strech.
“We don’t live and die by the
three point shot,” said Litterial
Green, who lead all scorers with 18
points, said. “If we have the shots,
we take them. If we don’t, we
don’t.”
The Dogs had the shots and
canned eight of 11 treys on the eve
ning with Green, Rod Cole, and
Jody Patton each hitting two of
three attempts.
“We didn’t recognize that we had
shot that well from three-point
range,” Green said. “It was just for
tunate that we had a lot of good
shooters on the perimeter that
nailed the three pointers.”
The trey shooting quintet of
Green, Cole, Patton, Alec Kessler
and Marshall Wilson have estab
lished the Dogs’ SEC leading 41.9
percent three-point shooting per
centage.
“We’ve got five players who can
shoot (three pointers) and that we
have confidence in," Georgia coach
Hugh Durham said. “We don’t look
to shoot three pointers unless we
are behind, but we'll attempt them
in the flow of the game."
Guard Jody Patton, Georgia’s
all-time leading three-point
shooter, believes that while oppo
nents concentrate on keeping
Kessler in check under the hoop, he
and the other outside shooters can
toss up three pointers more suc
cessfully.
“(Opposing teams) are concen
trating on Alec a lot on the inside,
and it’s opened it up for us to try
more three pointers,” Patton said.
“Alec can shoot the three-point
shot too, and he’s done it well.”
Kessler, whose outside shooting
abilities have made him look even
more promising to NBA scouts,
feels there’s little reason to shoot
from just inside the three-point
line.
‘If you’re going to shoot from 18
feet, you might as well shoot it
from 20 feet and go for an extra
point,” Kessler said. “A lot of times
when you come off picks, you’d nor
mally shoot it from 17 or 18 feet.
Now, you just take another step
back and get three points.”
Saturday the Dogs travel to
Starkville, Miss, to take on Cam
eron Bums and the Mississippi St.
Bulldogs in another vital road
game for Georgia.
Bums burned Georgia for 28
points and eight rebounds in his
squads’s 83-69 loss in the Coliseum
on Jan. 17.
Three-point shooting may also
loom large for Durham’s Dogs in
Saturday evening’s contest. In the
prior game, the Dogs sank eight
treys to pace them to the 14-point
victory.
Diamond Dogs return to take on Jacksonville
By ERIC GARBER
Sports Writer
The Georgia baseball team has
returned from its four-game road
trip and takes its 2-2 record to
Foley Field Saturday for the
squad’s home-opener against Jack
sonville.
Although the actual playing
field is in good shape, the on-going
stadium construction at the field
has caused concern about fan
seating.
“Even though we won’t have any
occupancy in the main stadium
area for a while, we are going to
utilize the hill in right field for fan
turnout,” said Greg McGarity, as
sistant athletic director for event
management. ”
The space McGarity speaks of is
called “Kudzu Hill” and all stu
dents are welcome to occupy the
area free of charge during games
that take place before the sta
dium’s completion.
When finished, the $3.5 million,
bi-level stadium will consist of not
only an upper pavillion of standard
bleacher seating, but a lower level,
the first four rows of which to be re
served for chairback seats.
The Diamond Dogs, ranked 16th
in Baseball America’s pre-season
poll, bring back to Athens a pair of

two-game splits from Jacksonville
and Georgia Southern. Georgia
won the first game of each series by
a combined margin of victory of 19-
4, but failed to score more than five
runs in either of the second con
tests.
This year’s team may have expe
rience in its eight seniors, but it’s
obvious that if Georgia wants to
finish as strongly as it did in last
year’s SEC tournament (second
place), it will have to find strength
in its youth.
For one, the squad must effecti

the San Francisco Giants organiza
tion last spring.
To compensate, Webber has
given this season’s catching duties
to sophomore Terry Childers (.152
batting average in ’89), a States
boro native who hit .495 his junior
year and .440 as a senior at West-
side High School.
‘Terry has a good baseball back
ground,” Webber said. “His family
has had a lot to do with the sport
and I think he is very confident in
his knowledge of the game.”
Among this season’s seniors are
pitcher Mike Rebhan, whose no-
nitter against Western Carolina
last spring proved to be the climax
of his 7-3 season.
